Default Re: Land and Sea Dyno Results from the 80's

Somewhere on Scream n Fly is a Dyno test sheet that showed the 1973 Mercury XS1500 inline 6 cyl as producing 220 hp at 7500 rpm. I used to have one of those mounted on a 14'8" Cacci Craft (copy of the Checkmate V-Mate.) It would run low 80's, but was real squirrelly.
I blew it up.
